A visitor to the VPN Gate server listing page is only shown a subset of the available servers, though other servers are online. They do that to prevent an attacker from blacklisting all of the servers at once and thereby blocking access from China and other censoring countries.

The most thorough listing you can get is by sending visitors to the list from different countries and then compiling a unified master server list, which will still be a subset of all servers. Perhaps one could also compile a list of servers by using the client interface and comparing with several others in other locations. Be aware that a server list is a perishable resource, going stale after a few days. Servers change addresses or go offline, and they get blocked by censorship systems.

VPN Gate is still resistant to attack to the degree that server operators are willing to routinely freshen the network by changing their IP addresses. Enough servers doing this every few hours is enough to completely defeat the GFW and its clones.

With intimate knowledge of networking, the ability to either script or program to do it automatically and/or efficiently would be an added bonus.

For starters you need to basically proxy your connection and checking the VPN Gate website through it. There's no guarantees that this method would work perfectly either.

In short, no. If the list only shows 80 or 120 or so VPN servers that are available that is pretty much the only thing that is visible for normal users.
